Jeff Manship tossed 6.1 scoreless innings to pace the Colorado Springs Sky Sox to a 2-0 victory over the Tucson Padres Thursday at Kino Stadium. The Padres have now been shutout ten times this season as their first place lead drops to 1.5 games in the Southern Division.
The Sky Sox struck first in the opening inning with a run on Corey Dickerson's RBI groundout to second. Lars Davis' infield single in the fourth brought home Tim Wheeler for the only other run of the game.
